France Wants To Pay Up
A CCORDING to press dispatches from Paris, Prance wishes
to pay its war debt to the United States.
The new agreement, it is stated, would take the form of an
affirmation of the sanctity of signed engagements.
France owes the United States approximately $4,000,000,000,
including principal and interest. No payments have been made
since 1032. .
The new agreement, would arrange for payment in 20 annui
ties. France declares the United States is asked to give nothing
in return, Premier Blum is ready to negotiate at once without
bargaining. '
Further quoting press dispatches: "France hopes the debt
agreement will coincide with other political and economic agree
ments destined to consolidate peace and restore world com
merce by reducing quotHs and lowering tariff barriers."
Well this is something new under the sun!
e
Ever since our war debtors defaulted, it was assumed the
war debts were as dead as old King Tut.
France with its well known disposition, to drive a aharp
bargain where filthy lucre is concerned, was the last of pur
debtors expected to bring up the matter of payments, and open
up its purse Btrings, without demanding a "quid pro quo" on
the dotted line.
What does it all mean anywayt
The probable answer is, the "quid pro quo" is there, but not
expressed. War threatens in Europe. If and when war breaks
out, France will not only want the sympathy of the United
States, but financial help.
At the last session of the congress however, Senator Hiram
Johnson, put through a measure,
a loan from this country to any- foreign country, that had re
pudiated its war debt to the United States.
The resumption of debt payments by France would put it in
the clear as far as the provisions

Premier Stanley Baldwin nnt night warned King Edward, that
the government and parliament are prepared to oppose his mar

going to wed whom I please, come what may!"
Whereupon Sir Claude Schuster, permanent secretary of the
Lord Chancellors office, handed
cabinet, expressing a legal view
Mrs. Simpson without the government's consent.
That brings the matter to what might be called an impasse.
The U. P. correspondent concludes:
"King Edward. Is determined to marry Mra. Simpson, regard
leaa of the consequences, offlclala believed today. They see two
poaslbllltlca:
"I. That the King will appeal to the people to sanction the
marriage In defiance of the cabinet and the 'aristocracy
"3. That King Edward will abdicate, and marry the former
Baltimore girl, the throne going to hla brother the Duke of York"
SO what T
Well, as the same dispatch declares, the British Labor
party also opposes the marriage, the first alternative would
hardly meet with much success.
How about tho second t This would be a history-malting,
tradition-shattering step to take, and yet when one comcf to
think about it, quite in keeping with the entire performance
from the start.
Talk about your "STORIES," your fantastic movie scenar
ios from Hollywood! had this extraordinary romance been
taken as the basis for ono of Warner Brothers musical extrava
ganzas, every critic in the country would have dismissed the
plot, as too incredible, to be taken with any seriousness.
But the King Edward-Mrs. Simpson situation IS serious, and
it takes no deep student of modern England, and its far filing,
but unstable empire, to appreciate that fact.
EVER since Queen Victoria, the British Empire has been held

always carefully subordinated to bin duties as the ruling mon
arch, and never allowed to obtrude or interfere with matters of
state. The present King's grandfather was always the King
first, and tbe man about town, second, and discreetly incog
nito. King Edward VIII, has bad other ideas ideas for that
matter which are to his credit, but are not so regarded when
matters of state, and royal tradition, are considered. As a re
sult he has been placed in tbe unfortunate position of reversing
his grandfather's code, placing his personal inclinations first,
and his responsibilities as bead

QUESTIONS AND AN 9 WEBS.
Lift for Spinal Curvature
One of your correspondents de
scribed great benefit from' an extra
lift on the shoes, for curvature of
spine. I tried It. Four lifts bring
spine into alignment and holds me
up on the weak side very well. For
some months the readjustment of my
muscles was rather painful when on
my feet for several hours. But rest.
and use of heating pad, relieved that.
I am 76 and have had curvature since
I was 19. . . . (C. DeW.)
Answer. Thank you. In some cases
cork or leather lifts on sole and heel
of one shoe correct the postural
fault. The supervision of the physi
cian is necessary when such correc
tion is attempted.
Milk In the Country
Taking my baby to the country for
a month. At home she has had only
pasteurized milk. May I give her
straight milk from the cow? , . .
(Mrs. P. P.)
Answer. Provided the cow la tu
berculin tested, yes. , Otherwise, It
would be well to bring the milk to a
boll for a minute, to make It safe
for the baby. Or pasteurize It your
selfheat It In double boiler to 145
degrees F for 35 minutes, then let
cool again. That la all there Is to
pasteurising.

fits In with a recent experience -if

the treasury is secretly at work on

program will be passed. A general re
organization of the soli conservation
set-up will be recommcnaea nu
nmhahtv MMUrl In ft form Which Will
permit tho AAA to continue benefit
payments and effect production con
trol, although thla haa not yet been
definitely decided.
The legislation which wilt emerge
finally from the current wage and
hours debate cannot yet be discerned.
Everything will depend on two su
preme court decisions, expected to be
handed down before the session, is
over. (1) the Wsgner labor board
cases, and (2) the holding companies
test suit.
The Black 30-hour week bill will
not be passed. Neither will the re
vised O'Mahoney bill proposing a sys
tem of federal charters for all cor
porations. No constitutional amend
ment will be presented by the presi
dent, and none will be seriously con
sidered, unless unexpected develop
ment change the existing situation
entirely.
The senatorial Investigation of civil
liberties will be renewed for the pur
pose (among others) of helping John
Lewis to organize the steel industry.
A few administrative changes wUl be
mads In soelnl security, but the tax
will not be altered.
Much ado will be made over gov
ernmental reorganization, but It will
not amount to much In dollar sav
ings. The budget will show approxi
mately & paper balance, but U. will
not Include a definite relief figure
Mr. Roosevelt will delay his relief
estimate, as customary, until late In
the session.
Funds will probably be appropriated
to continue the A. T. and T. Investi
gation, which will shortly reopen with
a bang.
The Wheeler railroad financing in
vestigation will reopen, without a
bang.
The threatened Investigation of
Father Coughlln will be called off.
Several housing bills are to be con
sidered, but Mr. Roosevelt is not yet
behind any of them, which means
none now seems likely to pa$a.
The pure food and drug bill will
undoubtedly be smothered without
serious consideration.
This la an extremely young con
gress, and the top-heavy Democratic
majorities are destined to spilt into
fscttons. but will be too much under
the Roosevelt spell to be unruly.
The leaders will promise a short
session, as usual, but they will run
on until June, or later.
